Toy all whom it mdgcdncernrf Be it known -t 'at I, ALBERT citizen of the United States, residin LKRAUTH, a at l Hamiltcn, inthe county of Butler and tete of Ohio,have invented certain new and usc- "ful Improvements in .WebfSupports for Autcgrp ic Registers, of which the following is a specification.

' i My invention relate-s to van improvement tion toward thepaper, together with ineens f. for adjusting the tension.

The lfeatures of the invention are 'more fully .set )forth in the description of the aocompanying drawings,l forming a. part of this specioation, in which :wf

Figure l is a sectional vien;y of roll snp` porting means mounted in position within the register casing, and having e pintle projecting through the core of the roll ofpaper.

Fig. 2 is a section illustrating a modified form of rollsnpport. Fi 3 is .o sectional view of a third modified orrn. Fig. 4 s a sectional View of a fourth modiied form. Fig. '5 is a detail top pianview of a projecting boss formed on the frame of the inechine.l employing the type of roll support shown in Fig. 4. Fig. Gis a sectional view of a fifth mddified forno of roll support.

lIn the various forms of roll supports. shown herein, the same chnrecteristns are embodied in Shaving a spindle movn'nly supported upon the side frames of a register, one end provided with a hand hold or knnrl. and its opposite end provided with s disk adapted to engage the side-s of a roll or weh of paper, tension means for maintaining the spindle and disk in a direction toward the peper, together with means {oo ndjusting the tension, and ineens adapted to engage with the core of the paper roli to serve as a pintle to prevent displacement of the roll when the tension has been Withdrawn.

In the Aforni shown in Fig. 1, l, 2, represent the side frames of e register. each pro vided with the sleeve extensions 3.. il? rep regents a spindie. in this instance of tuiniilar form, slidahly mounted within a sleevennt i screw threaded into the sleeve 3, projecti Steinmann tuners munt.

'ing from the side freine. 6 represents the spindle 4*, esi-ring against the side of the roll of pa er?, and held in position upon seid spindle y means of the sleeve nut 8, screw threaded within a 'bore formed within the spindle. 9 represents a spindle rod, 'projectedthrough the spindle-4, leindcore of a.

roll of paper. 10 'represents a coil spring, one end engaging the disk 6,' the opposite end the nut 5, and its tension. governedby the adjustment of the nut 5 within thefsieeve projection 3.x The supporting meelmnixnnfis` carried out in dupiicate upon each of the two side frames, between which the roll is supported, as 'a preferable form, but itis obvious, that only one side'may be equioned.

In thetforni shown in Fig. 2, the Aspindle` 4 is not of sleeve form, asothat' shown in Fig. 1, no provision being* made for .the spindle rod.l The cup disk 6 is mounted on the spindle in a transposed position'froxn ln this form of roll support the cup portion of the disk projects into the core of the roll of paper.

in the forms shovvn in Figs. 3, 4 and 5, the spring l0 engages against a-Vcollar l1 slidshiv mounted upon the spindle 4, withy.

' the form shown in Figf, the upper portion of the sleeve ndjncent to the. oblong siot 13 is serrated. and the knurl i4; is likewise serrated, engaging with the serrntions of the sleeve, lint looselj.' mounted upon the pin 12. and spring l5 interposed between the knurl and hond of the pin. Thus, an ad- .jnstinent of the collar 11 can he made by' raising Lhe knurl to disengage the same from the Casing sleeve projection.

In Fig. (i, the .spindle is provided ,with :i pintle end lf3, and a flut disk i7, in place of the cup-shaped disk illustratodvin the other News, with the remainder of thes'truc ture beine' substantially the same as that shown and descilbed in Rigi@ Haring, described my invention, I claim 1. A web support for autographie regis ters combining two concentric tubular members, one rigid and the second adjustable within the first, n spindle longitudinally slidable within the second member having a cupped disk on one end thereof, and a spring intervening between said disk and second member for urging 'said disk from said member.

2. A web support for autographic regis ters combining a casing having itsinner surface recessed and an apertured boss extending Jfrom the outer surface opposite said recess, a sleeve member adjustably mounted within said boss aperture, manually accessible means exterior of said boss for adjusting the sleeve member, a spindle concentrically slidable Within said sleeve having :tV

cup dislr on the inner end thereof movable .within the recess ofthe casing, and a spring engaging said disk and sleeve. l

3. A web support for autographic registers combining a casing having an apertured boss extending from the exteriqr surface thereof, a screw threaded sleeve r'vithin the aperture of saidfboss havin a radially extending element exterior of t e boss for manually moving said sleeve, a spindle slidably supported Within said sleeve, a web engaging disk at one end of the spindle, the opposite end of the spindleprovided With a hand hold exterior of the casing for moving said spindle and a spring engaging said disk and sleeve.A

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand.
